Getting a new computer
A: Mr. Emory? I think it’s time to get a new computer.
B: Why, Christine? I think the one we have is fine.
A: For the amount of work we do on the computer these days, the one we’re using is just too weak. We really need a higher model.
B: Well, I’ll think about it. I don’t know whether accounting is going to agree to such a big purchase.
買新電腦
A：埃莫里先生，我覺得該買台新電腦了。
B：怎麼了？克莉絲汀。我想現在這台還可以嘛。
A：對於我們現在所做的工作，我們用的這台電腦太慢了。我們的確需要一台高檔一些的了。
B：好吧，我考慮一下。我不知道財務部門是否會同意這麼大一筆開銷。
Clarifying final details
A: This is what my boss is expecting, Sandy. He wants a detailed list of expenses and equipment costs.
B: That’s going to take a while to put together, Paul.
A: The sooner, the better, Sandy. I don’t think he’ll sign anything till he’s got that in his hands.
B: I’ll get to work on it right away. Anything else?
確定最後細節
A：這是我老闆想的，仙蒂。他想要一份詳細的費用及設備成本清單。
B：把這些都做出來得費些時間，保羅。
A：越快越好，仙蒂。我想不拿到這個他是不會在任何東西上簽字的。
B：我現在就去做。還有別的什麼嗎？
